looking good!

do all the pieces come pre cut, or do you have to do all the cutting yourself?
All the ply is laser cut and the wing ribs are laser cut, you have to true up the balsa sheets to edge and end glue these together. I true up the first pieces, which ever edge is my refrence straight edge and then i begin to pin these to my building board. Then i end glue my sheets together and slide the next row of balsa sheets under the first by about a 1/16 and i use the edge from the first row to cut the second and they match up great then glue them together and repeat.
That was probably the hardest part of the build. I'm glad that it was the first step so it was out of the way.
